    Are there any tools out there that will go through my html code and correct it, I made a bunch of websites using Dreamweaver MX, I recently bought CS4 the validation tool picked hundreds of errors, I couldnt possibly go through each page of 30 or so websites manually :eek:

    I'd recommend using the W3C validator. It won't correct the errors automatically, but it specifies the line and error type. Finding the errors isn't that difficult. (BTW the Dreamweaver validators aren't as good as the W3C.) Outside of this, no, I don't know of any software that automatically corrects code. Usually WYSIWYGs write horrible code to start with.
    If you're really in a jam, you can hire me to correct your code. PM me if your interested.

    Well, If there are simple errors such as unclosed tags or missing tag errors I think it can be done via the html editor itself. Even if you were able to find an online tool, imagine for some reason you wanted to edit one website, to find that it has lot of other codes replaced, which might make your life even difficult.
    So if it were me, I would stick to my own code editing which I would understand even if I revisit to edit it, after some time.:cool:

    I don't think there is a tool to correct your html automatically.
    The best way is to correct it manually or to make a clean html when you create a website.Don't use any wysiwyg.HTML is pretty easy to understand and CSS as well.

    Thanks everyone for responses!

    Xira, thanks for the tips I will probably have to do what ExtremeData suggested and just recreate everything from scratch which sounds like alot but would probably be quicker and much less of a headache :D

    Are you on rentacoder or elance any of those networks, if it proves to much I will just outsource it.
